* End support for Python 3.7, update cibuildwheel and publish actions
Removes Python 3.7 from the support matrix, since it does not support
PEP590 vectorcalls.
Bumps the `cibuildwheel` and `pypa-publish` actions to their latest
available versions respectively.
* Add nanobind to the Bazel dependencies, add a BUILD file
The build file builds nanobind as a static `cc_library`. Currently,
the git SHA points to HEAD, since some necessary features have not
been included in a release yet.
* Delete pybind11 BUILD file
* Switch bindings implementation to nanobind
Switches over the binding tool to `nanobind` from `pybind11`. Most
changes in the build setup itself were drop-in replacements of existing
code changed to nanobind names, no new concepts needed to be
implemented.
Sets the minimum required macOS to 10.14 for full C++17 support. Also,
to avoid ambiguities in Bazel, build for macOS 11 on Mac ARM64.
* Use Bazel select for linker options
Guards against unknown linker option errors by selecting required
linker options for nanobind only on macOS, where they are relevant.
Other changes:
* Bump cibuildwheel action to v2.12.0
* Bump Bazel for aarch64 linux wheels to 6.0.0
* Remove C++17 flag from build files since it is present in setup.py `bazel build` command
* Bump nanobind commit to current HEAD (TBD: Bump to next stable release)
* Unbreak Windows builds of nanobind-based bindings
Guards compiler options behind a new `select` macro choosing between
MSVC and not MSVC.
Other changes:
* Inject the proper C++17 standard cxxopt in the `setup.py` build
command.
* Bump nanobind to current HEAD.
* Make `macos` a benchmark-wide condition, with public visibility to
allow its use in the nanobind BUILD file.
* Fall back to `nb::implicitly_convertible` for Counter construction
Since `benchmark::Counter` only has a constructor for `double`,
the nanobind `nb::init_implicit` template cannot be used. Therefore,
to support implicit construction from ints, we fall back to the
`nb::implicitly_convertible` template instead.
distutils is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.12, so this
commit modernizes the Python bindings `setup.py` file in order to
future-proof the code.
On top of this, type hints were added for all of the convenience
functions to make static type checking adoption easier in the future,
if desired.
A context manager was added to temporarily write the Python include
path to the Bazel WORKSPACE file - but unlike previously, the
WORKSPACE file is reverted to its previous state after the build to not
produce changes on every rebuild.
Lastly, the Python bindings test matrix was extended to all major
platforms to create a more complete picture of the current state of
the bindings, especially with regards to upcoming wheel builds.
